There has been some discussion of c8c5779c854f, and it would be good to resolve issues. However, the patch is supported by Peter Zijlstra (x86) and Will Deacon (ARM), so I am OK sending it as-is if needed. We always have the opportunity of adding other patches as needed. The latest email from Andrea indicated some concerns about the commit log, which cannot be changed after acceptance, so resolving those concerns is the highest priority. bf36a3124d04 doc: Replace smp_cond_acquire() with smp_cond_load_acquire() Small change, needs an ack. Looks to me like is is just aligning the documentation with the code, so should not be controversial (famous last words). Please take a look and consider giving feedback and/or a review/ack. f3625642c96d EXP tools/memory-model: Add scripts to check github litmus tests eaaac2854b75 EXP tools/memory-model: Make scripts take "-j" abbreviation for "--jobs" These add regression-test capability and need a review and/or ack before they can be submitted. I do not consider them to be particularly urgent. Thanx, Paul
